I have a MFP medical degree and have devised this magic weight loss diet
Watch your calories and stay under your TDEE. Eat whatever you want. Try to keep it 80% healthy foods and 20% or less junk foods

Nope. Too logical. Nothing completely cut out. Not nearly restrictive enough . Plus it could be easily maintained. Way too easy to be successful this way.0

I'm a little confused about the BMR & TDEE...I'm a very big woman and I've lost about 22 kilo in the last 2 months (it's likely more, I've not weighed myself in a fortnight). I average about 1400 cals a day...one or two times I've gone over, but mostly I sit somewhere between 1100 - 1400.
But, my BMR is 2759 cal and my TDEE is 3311. Even before I started losing weight I rarely ate more than 2800 cals a day. I spent a good many months keeping a diary, so I know exactly how much I was consuming.
I don't have any kind of illness that would cause this, or diabetes or anything like that.
The only thing I can seem to put it down to is before I changed my diet, it was primarily made up of carbs. Largely simple carbs at that.
I should mention that I am seated much of the time. I'm a film editor so I can be seated for up to 14 hours each day working. Also because of being overweight my entire life, I have no cartilage in my knees, which makes walking painful.0 -
Sorry sir, but you are no Dr. Hymen.0

That'll never work because you're not trying to sell me some supplement or magic weight loss cure for the low payment of my soul.0

Gosh, I can't believe someone flagged you on this. I like the concept, Dr. Merc, and I believe I'm going to try your diet, but......
You forgot to tell me how much $$ I owe you now.

You are a genius Dr. Merc. Nay--Super Genius. The Nobel Prize in medicine is most certainly coming your way. When do the infomercials start airing?0

I was laughing at the fact you got flagged for silliness.
And mostly I just found a load of Simpsons gifs and decided to throw one in. And there was a fellow Maggie in it. :-P
I'll try to be more clear in my humor (or lack thereof, apparently.
) from now on. 0 -

Lies. Everyone knows if you eat under your TDEE you'll go into starvation mode.0 -

This is true. I ate 25 calories under my TDEE one day and went into starvation mode. Then I ate 25 calories over my TDEE the next day and gained a whole pound.
And, one day I ate way more than my TDEE because I heard eating mire helps you lose weight....it does!
